David

David serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical maritime infrastructure and vessel maintenance systems. He ensures operational readiness by overseeing contracts for mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems essential to base functionality, with a focus on facility upgrades, repair services, and specialized equipment procurement. His role is central to executing the agency’s mission of maintaining resilient port and vessel infrastructure to support national security, search and rescue, and port safety operations. David typically handles complex, technical acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, often involving engineering services, industrial equipment, and facility modernization projects requiring stringent compliance with Coast Guard technical standards. David maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC, all of which provide niche expertise in marine infrastructure, industrial maintenance, and mechanical system integration. His procurement approach favors long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing proven experience in Coast Guard-specific operational environments, particularly those capable of delivering rapid-response maintenance and retrofit solutions for aging maritime facilities. David exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the defense industrial base by prioritizing qualified small businesses capable of delivering technical services and specialized equipment. His contracting patterns consistently align with socioeconomic goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities for small, locally based firms with relevant maritime and industrial experience. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting a strong emphasis on procuring propulsion systems, auxiliary power units, and marine engine components, alongside NAICS 331210 for specialized pipe and tube fabrication. David’s expertise lies in sourcing mission-critical mechanical and industrial equipment that meets Coast Guard durability and safety standards for high-stress maritime environments.
